Large turnout for high school boot camp

More than 125 students and teachers attended Friday's High School Journalism Boot Camp — about twice the number the San Francisco Peninsula Press Club was expecting when board members began planning the seminar. Journalists from the region's newspapers and broadcast stations led discussions on digital photography, online publishing, arts & entertainment reporting, sports coverage, newspaper design, advertising and many other topics. The seminar was co-sponsored and hosted by the Journalism Program at the College of San Mateo.

Micki Carter, former San Mateo Times managing editor and current Press Club board member, critiques a high school paper for students.

Diana Diamond of the San Jose Business Journal and a Press Club board member talks with students and a faculty adviser about editorial pages.

College of San Mateo Journalism Professor and Press Club board member Ed Remitz leads a discussion.

Dai Sugano, San Jose Mercury News photographer/multimedia editor, talks with students after showing some of his work.
